Before it's undone

Warning: Hazardous for those who will easily be insomnia-stricken, weak-heart and easily lose interest... Warning has been issued, do not blame me if anything happens... This will be a heck of a long, wordy entry

Alright! Take 5 seconds... Yes, 5 SECONDS to do this simple task: List out 5 things you cherish most, whether good or bad in any sequence, so whatever crosses your mind in the top 5 list, just put it down. E.g.

1. Family (as usual)
2. Friends (again, as usual)
3. Sleep (also, as usual)
4. Computer
5. Food!

Yea, if you've guessed, that's what I will cherish lar... *smiley*
*drum roll* If you've just shared the same thing (or almost the same) things as me, I'm sure that 5 is not enough! C'mon, there are more things that you can cherish in your life!

Take for example, early in the morning...
7a.m. : Wakes up in the morning, walks to the bathroom, tries to twist the tap on only to discover... NO WATER! *frust*
7.01a.m. : Fine, no water, still need to brush teeth... *reaches out to take toothbrush, picks up the tube of toothpaste in a blur condition... Squeezes the tube* WHAT?!!! NO MORE TOOTHPASTE?! *apparently forgot to stock up on toothpaste*
7.05a.m. : Last call, tries to bathe... *gets the towel, fresh change of clothes and briefs* Upon entering the shower room, places the towel, clothes and briefs on the hanger. Switches on the shower tap and there comes the water! Finally, something made right...

Trivial is it not? However, these are the simple things we take for granted at times. From something as insignificant as having the toilet lights functioning properly to major things like friendship and fellowship.

What if one day, you discover that your phone couldn't function anymore?
What if one day, you discover that your computer couldn't be turned on?
What if one day, you said something wrong and your friend gets all upset over it even when your friendship has been forged long enough to be close?
What if... And the list goes on and on... *emo-ing*


Humans will be humans, we can be forgetful at many other times. What's to prevent us from forgetting stuff? I myself can't remember what I had for lunch on a Sunday 3 weeks back... Heck, I don't even remember if I had lunch or not! Haha... Therefore, we shouldn't take things for granted so simply... YESH! Of Course! This same proverb has been repeated time and again, but they'll just be mere words that flashed through your vision as you read this, and until you actually experience this, you won't understand how important it is.

So people, appreciate what you have lar huh... Don't take things for granted.

Till then, Au Revoir~

P/S: Suddenly I feel like visiting my grandmother... As in both my grandmothers... =D

Bittersweet symphony

Yesterday was a day to look forward to (as in few weeks back) because I managed to obtain a pair of free premier tickets for 'Avatar'. Directed by James Cameron, who directed 'Titanic in 1997 (back when I was a small boy and didn't understand the significance of love), this movie is indeed (and I can say confidently) the BEST movie I've watched this year. Forget Michael Bay man, Avatar graphics is way marvelous and amazing to behold.

Jake Sully(Sam Worthington) and his neon-blue sleek skin avatar and Neytiri(Zoe Saldana), his newly-found girlfriend from a different being altogether... Touching...

Well, on my personal preference, I would advise with vehemence that you watch this movie, as it depicts and draws the different emotions from that blood-pumping heart of yours. I definitely will watch this movie again even if on my own.

On the same day, I parked my car in an illegal spot, and I received a fine slap on my car windscreen... So sad *sob sob* But after watching this movie, my mood was heightened up to its best for a round of supper in murni! Must WATCH! Great!

Till then, Au Revoir~

Cinderella Spin!!!

Ok, this is really random. It was yesterday evening, during my trip home from the lrt station. I was on board a bus and sitting beside the railing, right next to where the steps down is. It also means that I'm sitting at the far right of the row and there's an empty space beside me.

When the bus stopped, imagine this malay lady, short and chubby as she is, walked towards the seat beside me, held the yellow-coated bar, made a "cinderella spin" and at the blink of an eye, she was already seated beside me...

Till then, Au Revoir~

it's true

Most of the times, you'll come across with proverb/warning, reap what you sow. Well, for the kind-hearted, you'll be smilling deliriously with a broad grin over your mouth. However, for the ill-mannered, you'd like to cogitate on your deeds.

For months past, the battered road outside my house has suffered the wrath of those cruel, mean mat-rempits (mina-rempits not identified yet) whose reign of terror ended when today, of all days! Whoah... I must say, moms do have the best kind of instinct of things to happen and somehow, they have innate telepathy when they become mothers. My mom called me just as soon as I stepped down from the bus, as my right foot touched the similar solid-battered ground. She warned me of a tragedy that took place just a few meters from where the bus stop I came down from. As I was walking and answering the phone at the same time, upon lifting my head up staring at the shrouded darkness, just lit by street lamps and seeing bystanders and house residents looking on by on the poor pitiful souls who were sitting down on the road, I knew immediately what my mom was trying to relay via her mobile phone.

11.10pm: Some mat rempits were doing some free-willy stunt, those only possibly executed in 'Extreme games'/ Motorcross! Woo hoo! Best motorcycle stunt game! Yea, of the 19th century... Anyway, on 1 moment, they were in cloud 9 pulling off that stunt, and...

11.11pm: "AHH!!! Ouchhhhh~" *girl wailing* (although they were guys lar...)

And there they were, sitting on the ground. As I'm typing this right now, an ambulance just arrived and they're attending to their needs. Bittersweet feeling swelled up inside of me as I was thinking...

*Yesh!!! PADAN MUKA!!! RIGHT AT YOUR FACE!!!*

.... and another, being a Christian

*Ouch... Wei, you'd better get to hospital fast. Who knows what interior injuries you might suffer from*

Well, the safest thing to say the least is, REAP what you SOW...

Till then, Au Revoir~

sudden ear itch for sonata

First time I heard this song from 'Nodame Cantabile' and I was clung to it... And yes, I still watch it from time to time. However, the sonata I liked most was this. Enjoy... Just a sudden occurrence of interest...
